Way to de-escalate the situation, dumbass.

At one point, an electronic chime breaks into the call, suggesting Hernandez had opened his door while the SUV’s engine ran. He acknowledged to the dispatcher that he was planning to get out of his vehicle. The dispatcher interjected.

“Why? You can drive away. We have officers en route to you,” the dispatcher said. “I don’t want you guys getting into any more of a dispute.”

Hernandez definitely doesn’t sound like the sharpest spoon in the drawer. And/or he gets his jollies from shooting people. If even the police dispatch is like “what the fuck are you doing”,

Hernandez later told police who responded that the suspect said “I’m going to kill you” to him before he fled the scene. Records show the first officer arrived around 4 p.m.

Welp. Sounds like it’s the second one.
